Perfect for any Jaws fan! The photographs are amazing. Getting lost in the backstory allows you to peek behind the magic curtain of movie making.
–Horror Tree
Refreshed with new material for the film’s golden anniversary, Matt Taylor’s gorgeous book Jaws: Memories from Martha’s Vineyard (Updated and Revised Edition) is the perfect companion for a late-summer revisit as the film heads back into theaters.
–The Film Stage
This book is the perfect behind-the-scenes accompaniment to the film … If this film has ever meant anything to you, this belongs in your library.
–Cinema Sentries
Praise for the 1st edition:
Chock full of anecdotes and bursting with more than 1000 pix that have never been seen before. This behind-the-scenes beauty is an absolute must have.
–Library Journal
One of the most amazing making-of-a-movie books ever.
–Fangoria magazine
You’re going to need a bigger coffee table.
– Rue Morgue magazine
A gorgeously produced coffee table book. Taylor’s work ambitiously offers what amounts to a nearly scene-by-scene accounting of the making of one of history’s most-beloved films.
–Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review, one of the Books of the Year
It is charming and as handsome and thorough as any book about any film production could hope to be.
–Chicago Tribune
After thirty-five years, I can’t believe the fan base Jaws has. A coffee table book showing the making of the movie in a whole new light is long overdue.
–Jaws Production Designer Joe Alves
